Grassroots Community Space
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chelo Mercado, co-owner of Grassroots, a community space in Downtown Jersey City. I’ve strolled past Grassroots a few times in the past, and the colorful murals on the storefront always generated a curiosity in me about what went on inside those beautifully clad […]
Nick D’Ornellas
It is true when they say a picture tells a thousand words, yet a Jersey City-based artist named Nick D’Ornellas paints a picture that tells a story of his own. Born in Georgetown, but raised in Jersey City, Nick grew up with opportunities and skills Jersey City has to see! Now going onto college, Nick […]
Jennifer Roberts
Jennifer Roberts remembers walking into her high school and feeling out of place with the students around her. She tried both a public and private high school for a year but couldn’t allow herself to stay in an environment that made her feel so negative. It wasn’t until she enrolled in a college-level painting class […]

When Jase Harley emailed me, something inside of me said that I needed to meet him ASAP. He is also friends with […]
Making of a Maker: pAra
When CHICpea recently expanded her writing team, I had to advocate for the ever-inspiring JC Maker Movement. We Jersey City folk have mad love for our Makers around town and at markets – but how many of us know the backstory? I’ll be digging into these Makers’ raison d’etre, beyond the artisan wares they sell. […]
Michelle Vitale
Michelle Vitale aka Woolpunk is a Jersey City artist who machine-knits fiber installations and embroiders on photos of urban sprawl. This past year she created a special blanket with a tarp for the homeless of Jersey City (which I got to try on, and it’s quite chic actually). I went to meet her at one of […]
County Prep Alumni Dance Concert
When asked to sing at the County Prep Alumni Dance Concert, I knew it would be a one of a kind experience. My former and freakin’ awesome Dance/Performing Arts Instructor, Heather Warfel, who also happens to be a band member of The Ukuladies, is a living example of what mentors, teachers, and role models should be doing–empowering our youth and […]
